"Maintaining a i y's Health," a panel discussion conducted by the Health Department and local homemaker's club members in every club last fall was also quite helpful to Mrs. Race. She learned from this discussion that she wed it to her family to visit her physician regularly for a checkup, which she had been neglecting to do.

After getting her check-up she finds that with the doctors help and by following the basic seven foods she can maintain good health. Mrs. Rice is a for the chance to learn how we control our health by the ioods we eat and finds that her family is quite interested in new ioods. Alt.

Adamstown Club members feel well trained in the basic seven foods and showed their training by voluntarily serving a well balanced meal to the men who were building the fire hall. A special demonstration on developing good food habits in young children was presented by Prospect Club in the form of. a luncheon.

As a result at six mothers of young children were Helped with some problem. As a culmination of their food and nutrition program for the year Lewistown homemakers held a nutrition supper inviting the 4-H girls to participate. A balanced meal including turkey but also an abundance of vegetables, salads and fruits was served using recipes received in the previous years projects.

Last fall all 33 homemaker's clubs had demonstrations on safety in the home. Mrs. demon Lenhart of Braddock Club who offered her home foi one of the training schools ha? corrected some of the accident hazards the leaders found as they inspected her home. She has placed a 'Light on the basement stairs, moved a table from She stair landing, put a ground wire on the washing machine and moved a rug from the porch. Mrs.

Warren Grushon, Mrs. Ernest Drebert and Mrs. Dallas Reed of Thurmont have rewired their homes at least in part. Mrs. Reed has increased her circuits from one to four and gets much better results from her electricity.

All spring, homemakers have been answering roll call at club meetings by naming further accident hazards they have corrected. Gambrill Park sends in a typical report, that there is not one member who has not corrected at. least one accident hazard in her home. Mrs. George Chaney of New Market built new cellar steps.

The old ones were so bad you had to go down backwards and dig your toes in. Now it is so much safer and easier to go to the cellar. Stairways and electrical connections are the most popular hazards if one can use that term. At least 48 homemakers report and teaching the toys off the steps.
